The Intermediate "A” Kings bounced the Senior “B" Briggs 12-5 before 700 fans. Although only exhibition, the game pro­ duced a surprising amount of roughness and hard play. Seven­ teen penalties were called. Briggs, who have been practis­ ing at the local arena, could not match the colorful team play of the Polar Kings.

GENERAL ELECTRIC Ultra-Vision BEING DEMONSTRATED AT EXETER fl* A SMALL TOWN LIKE EXETER is often subject to the visita­ tions of small animals from the nearby fields and woods. The marauders usually call at night and vanish with the first sign of dawn. Last Friday morning a visit of a more pretentious nature caused some excitement—for a skunk wandering the streets with its head stuck in an empty jam jam is certainly not to be sniffed at. At 8 o’clock the striped visitor was reported in the vicinity of Cann’s Mill. Reg Taylor, chief of police (and member of the Trades­ men), was not on duty so he referred complaints to John Cowan. No arrest was made, however, as the varmint had not yet commit­ ted a serious offence. Mr. Skunk tottered drunkenly in and out of garages all morning, much to the consternation of residents. At high noon he was seen prowling around the back entrance of Mid-Town Cleaners, attracted, undoubtedly, by their claim of “odorless dry cleaning”. Reg, who lives next door, immediately saw it was a clean-cut case of attempted breaking and jntering (not to mention carrying a concealed weapon), It was high noon alright ... 4* « LAURELS DEPARTMENT: Team with 3,424 (1,291) without handicap. so . . .
